need a new tranny

[rookie_98]

i'm looking to get a zf from a 328 because the guy at the yard doesn't know any difference. BUT if i do get one then what exactly do i have to change out? or look for

if not then how can i know that im getting the right original one. i saw one that said getrag but what other markings am i looking for? pics please?

and should i look for an e30 tranny that might fit, because the 1st gear things sucks balls on e36 trannys

I'm pretty sure it will fit, and be an improvement durability-wise over the getrag

[rookie_98]

because i read in another post (that i can't find) that the zf would need some modifications to it. or some extra parts i don't recall.

anything as far as pics to properly identify the tranny. i saw on the side that it said getrag but that was about it.

i need to know. have been looking through the articles but the only thing i read that i'm still not sure on is that i also need an m3 clutch? i called bs on that cuz 328's have the same tranny. so help

Some people use the 328 drive shaft and have it modified. Other people have said that there is a specific drive shaft that fits without modification.. Bluebimma or one of the guys more familiar with engine swaps should know.

i'm gonna go bug some of them, maybe even the moderators lol. no engine swap though but lets see what happens.

plus i just read that you can replace the flange and that it will work? anyone else? thanks for the moha
